Did I move?

So why are Republicans like Trey Gowdy, Eric Cantor, Paul Ryan and John Boehner making fools of themselves in order to spot the Democrats three more touchdowns?

The House Republicans’ “Standards for Immigration Reform,” for example, contains this fat, honking nonsense: “One of the great founding principles of our country was that children would not be punished for the mistakes of their parents.”

As the kids say: WTF?

That may be a pleasant-sounding sentiment, but it has absolutely nothing to do with our country’s history. Not the first thing. Did Republicans really think they could pawn off the idea that our forefathers fought and died at Valley Forge so that illegal aliens wouldn’t have to live in the shadows?

Yeah, it was a long shot. We didn’t know you guys had read the Constitution. We’ll be quiet now.

Apart from the fact that protecting children from the mistakes of their parents has not the slightest connection with the nation’s founding, it’s a ridiculous concept.

Uhhh, Ann… if you’re excoriating someone for their misuse of American history, you might want to get straight the fact that we never fought at Valley Forge…

Why shouldn’t Republicans oppose mass immigration on the grounds that immigrants will vote Democratic? The only reason the Democrats want mass immigration is because they know immigrants will vote Democratic. (Also for the cheap nannies and gardeners.)

Illegal immigration is not legal immigration.

All who are for amnesty are traitors, from the left to the right, incl. those here.

With the repeal of Obamacare in the balance, I have argued that it’s insane for Republicans to waste resources primarying their own guys in 2014. Even the most heinous Republican can usually argue, “Would you really rather have a Democrat in this seat?”

See McConnell and Cornyn.

But any Republican who supports mass immigration — whether with Marco Rubio’s amnesty bill, or idiotic arguments about “not punishing the children” — has forfeited that claim. If the country is going to be ruined anyway, it could not matter less who wins any particular seat on this Titanic.

Indeed.

Plus, since the 60s the stupid Rs tell the conservatives “wait for the next election and then…”

Ann didn’t mention that the Rs love the illegal aliens as much as the Ds do, for different and similar reasons.

Go to Hell all you traitors, from top to bottom.

Immigration reform is needed but it’s not amnesty.

All who took the oath and don’t uphold the laws of the USA, something very, very bad should befall you, and it will.

Nor will Republicans repeal government healthcare. Nor will they reduce taxes. Nor will they ever stop raising the debt ceiling or cut spending.

As the Roman Empire was beginning to decay, the emperor Caracalla expanded citizenship to every freeborn man. The idea was to increase the tax base, and Roman citizenship, once highly coveted, became viewed as a burden rather than a benefit.

The same thing is happening today. They are trying to expand the tax base to prop up Social Security and all the other idiot wealth transfer programs.

I wonder how close these programs really are to going over the cliff. And what happens when large segments of the Obamaphone army don’t get their check? It’s got to be frightening for our rulers.

So they’re trying to expand the tax base to keep the plates spinning a little longer. All this talk about “principles” and other hispanic-wooing rhetoric is a fig leaf to cover that they’re just looking for a tax infusion to stave off collapse.

Meanwhile, the left would give children of illegals a huge advantage over the tens of millions of children around the world who live elsewhere but want to come to the US – thus “punishing children” because their parents didn’t choose to violate our laws (or at least couldn’t come up with the money to pay criminals to smuggle them here). Why is that somehow OK?
